"....you can't have Bitcoin accounts that nobody knows about..."
Most people reading who are not into Bitcoin probably think that is possible, while mostly it's not, if you do it the right way.
I think when you compare it with a bank account most people are fine and comfortable that it's centrally controlled. A small set of people want to be in control of their money.
With banks doing more agressive kyc/aml monitoring and freezing accounts, I think more people will look for alternatives then to keep it in a bank.
nostr:npub1h2qfjpnxau9k7ja9qkf50043xfpfy8j5v60xsqryef64y44puwnq28w8ch is it possible to redeem sats via LNURL with Coinos? I can’t find the option to scan (only in Send)
It's in the Ecash section infortunately. They respond quicker in their Telegram group.
For years occasionally I've been talking with a friend of mine about Bitcoin and never seemed to be interested. Five years ago I gave him €30 in bitcoin by sending it to a wallet on his phone and explained how to keep it safe.
Five years later and multiple new phones, he found his backup words, installed a wallet and did a restore. He was very surprised to see that its value had gone up 7x to €210. He's now interested to buy and wants to know more about Bitcoin :-)
I've been buying from this business with fiat for a while and encouraging the owner to accept Bitcoin. Today, I finally succeeded in getting him onboard!
Let’s work together to make Bitcoin a payment option for every business⚡️🧡✊️

Great news! What will the business do with their bitcoin? Will they buy things for their business, save it, convert it to fiat?
I have 4 of the books shown. I'm reading the Daily Stoic and I just started Ego is the Enemy. The most difficult thing so far for me is (daily) reflection. Even though it's tough for me to apply it, I'm more aware of different perspectives. That is a step in the right direction :-)
Whuuut? What if you don't agree? I wasn't aware of this. Insane.
Interesting development. Italy has raised capital gains tax to 42% from26%. I hope this won't be a European trend.
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I can literally go into almost any store and gamble my money away. I can buy weed on almost any corner. In certain counties, I can go and swap cash for sexual favors. Almost any vice you can think of can be satisfied in minutes. Almost.
My state government draws the line though when it comes to personal finance and protects me from using financial services like nostr:npub1xkere5pd94672h8w8r77uf4ustcazhfujkqgqzcykrdzakm4zl4qeud0en. What's worse is one of my Senators (Catherine Cortez-Mastro) sits on both the Finance and Banking committees.
STDs and addiction good. Savings and compound interest bad.

Governments are hypocrite; they'll allow easy access to addictive matters and make it hard or deny access to matters improving life/family
Buying a car with fiat that depreciates in value over time vs stacking bitcoin monthly that maintains/increases in value over time.
I love this real world scenario!
I don't like the goverment. I like them small and they should leave us alone. ButvI don't understand your ststement that the state want to murder us. They probaby also want a very large cut from bitcoin profits, but murder? Can you give an example, scenario?
So very true, I can say from experience :-)
Apparently I can't play it in Amethyst, but on the desktop it works when using e.g. Primal or Njump.
Here is your video uploaded with nostr.build:

Thank you! Unfortunately I can't play the video.
I haven't been able to orange pill a very good friend of mine for some years. Five years ago I gave him 30 euros in Bitcoin as a gift.
Recently he looked at it again and saw that the price has increased to 210 euros, a 7x increase! This gave him a WOW effect and for the first tine he's actually curious and wants to know more about Bitcoin :-)
That would be the killer app for me. I hope YouTube creators use alternatives more like Rumble.
